MAGAZINE FAB: Beyonce Covers The July 2011 Issue Of ESSENCE Magazine

Beyonce looks ready for the summer on the July 2011 cover of ESSENCE Magazine. See the cover girl looking pretty in white inside...
In the July 2011 issue of ESSENCE Magazine, Beyonce penned her own cover story (her very first one) for the first time, where she discusses her fourth studio album 4, and the year that changed her life. Hmm....I wonder what year that could be?
Her story is titled Eat, Play, Love—and in her own words shares how a nine-month break and life’s simple pleasures reignited her creativity and renewed her soul.
Here's an excerpt from Beyonce's article:
“I had talked about taking a vacation before, but always ended up in the studio after two weeks, so no one believed me. This time, though, I was serious. I was going to give myself a year to do the things I never get to do. Simple things like play with my nephew, pick him up from school, visit museums, go to concerts, see some Broadway shows, learn to cook a meal and spend time with my husband…Yes, I needed some relaxation, but I wanted inspiration too, from regular, everyday things. They did not have to be over-the-top productions. I was looking for tiny moments that would speak to my heart and make me smile…” - Beyoncé, ESSENCE/July 2011
On the cover, Bey toned down her usual high-fashion extra glammed up photoshoot persona for a casual chic look. She's wearing a white cotton halter summer dress with brown threaded accents and straps. And with casual jewelry and an updo, she looks to be chillin' in a grassy summer setting. Nice.
Also, Beyonce is reportedly in London now perfecting her concert set as she will close the Glastonbury Festival on June 26th.
Good luck Bey!
